Solution
The correct option is D Nimbostratus
Explanation:
Nimbostratus: They are low clouds. Nimbostratus clouds are actually multi-layered clouds, as their vertical extent goes well into the higher altitude region and they often have taller cumulonimbus clouds embedded within them. These mid-level clouds are often accompanied by continuous moderate rain or snow and appear to cover most of the sky. Nimbostratus will often bring precipitation which may last for several hours until the associated front passes over. Hence option (d) is correct.
